Interesting spots not the best like, anyway heres a few to share from 2006!  Nice Rover parked in stockport  Beautys separated at birth    Topical van(ette) turned up full of decorators  This Honda is in great condition, seen driven by an elderly couple a few days later   recording my parking skillzors!  check out this beaut in morrisons car park, old chap owner is my guess, its a propper daily! 1600 laser i think. seen last week also a 3 door chevette estate, was with GF so didnt leave my number!    for the new MINI thread isnapped this, i liked its modern look, but so did the guy who had smashed in and had the radio/sat nav!   so kept my distance... anyone else moved house and projects twice in 2006!!!   thanks to cavmad for the peugeot powered tow and Salford van hire for being grumpiest evAr on the counter but friendly in the yard offering a lovely yorkie eating new transit, FWD i think, thats wierd! works ok though.   Chap at works Countryman daily, and I think he can afford a new car IMO so respeck.  hope you enjoy! |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

'79 MG Midget 1500 - Still patiently awaiting attention
'02 Vauxhall Astra 1.8 Elegance(!) - Better than you might think
'03 Mazda MX5 - All new and shiny looking (thanks to Antony at Rust Republic)
'09 Renault Clio - Needs to go.

I think it must be to do with the type of people who bought Countrymen (ps i think it is ), in the first place, a useful estate car suitable for dogs, airlooms (sp  ), garden centres cash and carrys/shopping, furnature, holiday gear, red wine, game shooting. He's more interested in adventure holidays, good food and drink, not daft cars (wastefully) new or (fanatically) old from what I have worked out and it don't sound like a bad lifestyle really does it |

at the time it was new, the countryman was bought by people who wanted a 7-seater for taking the kids to private school, popping to the farmers market and stuff but didn't want to pay Merc prices. So it sort of stands that they still don't want to pay merc prices and they're keeping the good old Montego going.
